Intransitive-Transitive verb pairs consist of two forms of a single, fundamentally verbal, word. All Intransitive-Transitive verb pairs represent fundamentally dynamic concepts. The actions they describe are inherently distinct in meaning. Therefore it is forbidden to use the base on which the two words are built, e.g. mov- alone without the -y- or -w- endings.

Verb Triplets consist of a verb, usually representing a state or relation, and two modified verbal forms derived from that stative verb. The two modified verbal forms are dynamic and describe an action or process, so that the triplet consists of three verbs: one describing a state or relation and two describing an action or process.
